The video above claims to show two orb-like unidentified objects floating in the sky above Barwell, Leicestershire.

A 41-year-old woman spotted the two balls of bright white light after strange noises woke her at 4.50am on February 3, reports the Hinckley Times .

She thought it was coming from downstairs so she got out of bed and went to see what it was.

After finding nothing the woman went to make her way back to bed when she suddenly spotted the two lights out of her window.

Joanne Kavanagh, who is investigating the incident on behalf of Lufoin - the Leicestershire UFO Investigation Network - said: “It was a clear night and there were no clouds in the sky.

“The lights kept merging into one and moving side to side.

“She said she watched them for about a minute and a half and got 20 seconds of video on her phone.

“Then they shot off at speed together and merged into one again.

“It’s quite an interesting case.”

Joanne, who has experienced strange unexplained incidents herself, said the organisation is trying to figure out what may have caused the lights.

She said: “We don’t have a clue at the minute. We are trying to rule out whether it was an aircraft - we know it wasn’t anything to do with a police helicopter and we are still waiting to hear from the air ambulance.

“The way they were moving and shot off within seconds, that’s not the actions of a helicopter or plane.

“A lot of incidents can be linked to Chinese lanterns or drones but I don’t believe the orbs moved in the same way.”
